C F6
Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun
G C
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
C F6
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save
G C
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

Chorus:
C
I want to see my family
F6
My wife and child are waiting for me
G
I've got to go home
C
I've been so alone, you see

C F6
You just can't believe the joy I did receive
G C
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
C F6
Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie
G C
For my country I would die, and I will see it soon

Chorus

C F6 G C

C F6
When I walked through the door my wife she laid upon the floor
G C
And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why
C F6
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
G C
Said that I was a brave, brave man, but that I was dead
